Which feedback results on Inca terracing when improperly compacted soil leads to hillside deformation?

💡 Explanation

Soil compaction failures on Inca terraces causes increased surface runoff and erosion by reduced infiltration; this is because the hydraulic conductivity changes rather than creating improved drainage conditions. The change initiates soil destabilization, therefore causing slope erosion rather than improving landscape cohesion.
